Apparently, in ancient Iraq, they made a "spinning toy with animal heads" out of baked clay.

Well at least our fidget spinners come in fun colors. Also, is clay really the best material for toy that is supposed to spin? We are grateful the necessary changes were made in our 2017 model.
Next time you think you've come up with a mind-blowing invention, better check your local museum. It's all been done before.
